ChainLib

A general purpose blockchain programming library for .NET Standard 2.0.

The goal of the project is to be a useful library for creating blockchains for various purposes, outside of crypto-economics, i.e. no work proofs.

"White label" blockchains may be created using JSON definitions, such as:

{
  "name": "MyChain",
  "storageEngine": "sqlite",
  "storageDirectory": "",
  "genesisBlock": {
    "timestamp": 1465154705,
    "objects": [],
    "previousHash": [ 0 ],
    "hash": [ 223, 200, 53, 69, 156, 0, 241, 84, 112, 105, 230, 141, 19, 145, 92, 120, 96, 73, 218, 216, 195, 150, 243, 213, 69, 192, 77, 148, 75, 47, 111, 149 ]
  },
  "proofOfWork": "none",
  "hash": [ 209, 47, 27, 131, 77, 179, 186, 26, 35, 127, 46, 150, 242, 141, 251, 47, 70, 14, 188, 126, 33, 176, 205, 113, 72, 50, 50, 139, 71, 9, 188, 181 ]
}
